Shotty Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 21. i am gonna break this down into easy to understand sections Short Wave radios. ok here goes, timeline 1836 Samual morse, develops morse code! 1873 James Clerk-Maxwell announces the theory of electro-magnetic waves 1888 Heinrich Hertz detects and produces radio waves 1900 GuglielmoMarconi successfully transmitted and recieved a wireless message 1906 Lee de Forest produce a sensitive reciever and amplifier 1919 RCA (thast the Radio corporation of AMERICA) develops the short wave radio, note the BIG AMERICA there. They join with Thompson, an english company also developing Radio technology and set up offices in UK, europe and South Africa. Pennecillin Penicillin was discovered in 1928. It was discovered in London, England. It was invented by Sir Alexander Fleming. Even though penicillin was discovered in 1928, it was another ten years before it was concentrated and studied by the british biochemist Ernst Chain velcro In 1941, George de Mestral and his Irish pointer were hunting game birds in the ancient Jura mountains of Switzerland. All day long, he had to pull off sticky cockleburs clinging to the dog's coat and his own trousers. De Mestral marvelled at the tenacity of these hitchhiking seedpods that were difficult to disentangle from animal fur or woolen cloth. That evening, this Swiss engineer placed a burr under a microscope and was stunned to see that the exterior of the seedpod was covered with masses of tiny hooks that acted like hundreds of grasping hands. De Mestral wondered whether it would be possible to mimic nature and create a fastener for fabric. When he succeeded he gave the creation a memorable name by splicing together the first syllable of two French words: velour (velvet) and crochet (hook): Velcro." the telephone! in the 1870s, the two inventors Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell both independently designed devices that could transmit speech electrically (the telephone). Both men rushed their respective designs to the patent office within hours of each other, Alexander Graham Bell patented his telephone first. Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell entered into a famous legal battle over the invention of the telephone, which Bell won. Born on March 3, 1847, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Alexander Graham Bell was the son and grandson of authorities in elocution and the correction of speech. Educated to pursue a career in the same specialty, his knowledge of the nature of sound led him not only to teach the deaf, but also to invent the telephone. Jet skis Clayton jacobson II, of arizona USA invented the PWC (personal water craft) and it is now marketed under the brand name, "jet ski" by kawazaki japan ill let you have the skidoo, zambinos, and insulin. BTW in a joint effort between and ENGLISH, and CALIFORNIAN we are mapping out the building blocks of the human (and possibly everything else) EAT THAT CANADIA oh yeah and the elections only take like a day because there are only like 25 people who actually care in canada. (same with the civil war) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Tell me honestly, are they really teaching you guys that stuff? Many of your facts are not very accurate. Baseball, for instance, was not an invention of Canada. Here is a lnk to the history of how it started... http://www.s-t.com/daily/07-01/07-09-01/c04sp082.htm I would post more, but I really don't have the time. But, if you really believe those things, then it's ok by me As long as you are happy I would list all of the inventions and accomplishments the U.S. has contributed, but it would be so long that the TA database could not store all of the text. P.S. We did let a few Canadians fly on the Space Shuttle after we properly trained them. Also, I agree that Canada invetnted Molson Ale....very good stuff I might add.

PUNISHER Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 hehe, in the unlikely event of an Invasion against the US you Canadiens are screwed.Canada is the stepping stone to Americas important cities and such.You should be thankful we have battle plans to protect you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElektrA Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Funny this thread!I met a Canadian man online, he became a close friend... and a few weeks ago we decided to share 'local' food with eachother.I recieved amongst others... maple syrup, all ingredients for poutine, pea soup, turtles and other goodies.He recieved several Dutch things. (for insiders: stroopwafels, mergpijpjes, zaanse mosterd, snert etc etc)conclusion: none yet... we haven't tried it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotty Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 hold on a sec..... zambino, !!!!nope thats american too. (maybe the title should be things canadia stole from america) "We invented the Zamboni!" Frank Zamboni was an Italian American living in, get this, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA when he invented his famous ice resurfacing machine. Zambonis are made in his original Southern Californian factory to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LORD_ORION Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Tee hee, but all the blustering still doesn't change the fact that we torched the White House. :DHeh, and I would love to see someone try and occupy Canada. So much space and so poor weather.... They'd face the guerilla war that could not be won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Too bad the army that burned the White House was a British one. :shock: The only thing Canada did was provide a port of entry for British troops. 8)And I can't believe you Canadians would try to steal the credit for the Zamboni. Shame on you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfen12 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 stilly canadians....ill tell you what the main problem is...too many damn french....hell they havent won a war since like 1800's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD_ORION Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Heh, well, after we beat the tar out of the French, we didn't know what to do with them. So we just kinda let them stay.Want to get a Quebecer angry? When he speaks french to you, say "We won the war, that's why we speak English in Canada" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
